Ktec engine mounts

[MikeyK18]

are they any better than the renault ones?

as they are round about the same price

i ordered them, they are the renault ones unless theyve put more up

iirc the only "uprated" one they do is te dogbone. There is a LOT of debate about those mounts.
A couple of members have had them ruin the threads where they attach to the Gbox.

care to expand? would that result is some sort of knocking noise?

I've had one fitted and a couple of weeks late I've got some noise that I can't work out waht it is...potentially a CV boot but after a quick look behind the wheel it all looks in order....

Do a search and I'm sure you'll come up with it. One member in particular was very annoyed.

The stiffer dogbone bush caused damage to the thread on the soft cast ally gearbox bell housing where the dogbone attaches. He put up pics showing this.
Unless you can't tollerate the movement, and have tried a new standard part, I wouldnt really recommend.

^^ yea ive got the same thing. I fitted one for a few weeks, on hard accellaration ive got a banging noise, ive replaced all the mounts for standard ones but its still the same.

hmmm...so my random knocking could basically be a loose bolt clanging about....I must admit I just looked at the other thread an I'm not very "mechanic" minded so it makes little sense to me lol!

mines fine on hard acceleration, it just when crusing along at about 30-40 it's a random intermittent knock almost like a "click" or metal on metal

could be totally unrelated to the dogbone and it's coincidence it's started since having it fitted...

 

[MikeyK18]

the one ive ordered just looks (and costs the same as renault, which my local dealer doesnt have in stock) so i figured i'll just get it from ktec
